Jamie Whitehouse

I am currently taking on new clients. I primarily work in the evenings.

Hi, welcome to South Hams Counselling. My name is Jamie and I am based in Ivybridge at the Watermark centre. I previously worked for a charity in Newton Abbot before setting up my own practise in 2023. 

I offer a variety of approaches including online, face to face and and my favourite, outdoor therapy. 

All face to face sessions are held at the Watermark centre. For outdoor therapy, I use a variety of spaces on Dartmoor.

I was trained as an integrative counsellor which allows me to work with clients in different ways. This includes CBT, Gestalt, person centred and mindfulness. I also offer life and career coaching sessions if required. 

My face to face sessions are held at the Watermark centre in Ivybridge. It is in a central location and has facilities including a coffee shop, parking, a public lift and a waiting area. I specifically wanted to have a space at the Watermark centre as it provides everything I feel a client may need to make them feel comfortable and also give them somewhere to take some time before and after sessions if needed. 

I also work outdoors with clients. I use various spaces on Dartmoor which allow me to cater for all physical abilities. I work outdoors all year round even when its raining or snowing! The connection clients find to the outdoors and therapy is limitless. I feel it also brings innovation to counselling.

My sessions are 1 hour long. I offer one off sessions, weekly or fortnightly or from time to time top up sessions for longer term clients.

When I receive an enquiry, I always aim to make contact within 48 hours to arrange an initial consultation. 

My first session lasts up to 30 minutes and is free. This gives clients the opportunity to meet me and ensure they feel comfortable to work together. During this consultation it also allows me to gain an overview of the issues a client may have.
